Lyrics Not Going Nowhere - Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds

Not Going Nowhere

I heard from your mom that you cried out last night
For a certain someone to turn on the lights
When you found that someone was not by your side
Your mom had to wipe away your tears
You asked her why dad isn’t here
When she starts to tell you dad’s working late
You say, «How come every day of the week?»
And she answers you with, «Go back to sleep»
Your heart tells you something has changed
Why have they been acting so strange?
Well, I’m here to tell you, you don’t have to fear
'Cause your daddy loves you, I’m not going nowhere
And I won’t give you up, and not gon' walk away
Comes to you and I, nothing’s going to change
I’m here to tell you, you don’t have to be scared
I’m not going no, I’m not going nowhere
It’s true that I live in a whole different house
But that doesn’t mean that I won’t come around
I’m still best of friends with your mom, have no doubt
We’ll still make time to hang out
I promise I won’t let you down
Well, I’ve got a room with your name on the door
Your favorite things you could ever ask for
Then best of all if you cry out at night
I’ll be the one by your side
Someone to help dry your eyes
Well, I’m here to tell you, you don’t have to fear, oh no
'Cause your daddy loves you, I’m not going nowhere, oh no
And I won’t give you up, and not gon' walk away
Comes to you and I, nothing’s going to change
I’m here to tell you, you don’t have to be scared
'Cause I’m not going no, I’m no going nowhere
I know you feel a little scared (oh yeah)
I know you think it’s not fair (no, it’s not fair)
You think it’s all your fault but it’s not, I swear
If it wasn’t for you, things could never be so cool
So I thank you for being the one in our life
That showed both of us we did something right
I’m here to tell you, you don’t have to fear
'Cause your daddy loves you, I’m not going nowhere
(I'm not going anywhere, no no-no-no)
And I won’t give you up and not gon' walk away
Comes to you and I, nothing’s going to change
I’m here to tell you, you don’t have to be scared
(You don’t have to be, you don’t have to be scared)
Well, I’m here to tell you, you don’t have to fear
'Cause your daddy loves you, I’m not going nowhere
And I won’t give you up and not gon' walk away
Comes to you and I, nothing’s going to change
I’m here to tell you, you don’t have to be scared
'Cause I’m not going no, I’m not going nowhere
